Okay so I'm headed into my first game on GridIron and I had a few questions. First do you only set one formation for each match? Second is it possible to make plays??? Three are shotgun formations possible? Any help would be appreciated.

hey, welcome to the game!

1.yup, just one formation for the game.
2.no plays as yet, though you can almost set up plays by tweaking formation and focusing on run/pass or direction, but yes i realise this is limited..
3.As yet QB remains direct behind centre. no shotgun

Not sure how much you've read in the forums, but the game is still pretty young (only just finished the beta season) so expect further developments.

Okay thank you. I kinda knew what the answers would be before I asked but I wanted to check and make sure before I went into my first game with only one formation. Hopefully shotgun will be added though, it'll unlock the wildcat formation

False. To use the wildcat, there would also have to a running quarterback option first, and then furthermore a "run-pass option" for the quarterback.

Nothing personal to the devs, but at the rate this game is developed, I wouldn't expect to see anything similar to a wildcat formation for at least a few years real-life-time.

i don't think the wildcat would ever really be possible with the current game engine nor something that would be implemented as option offenses are extremely hard for non football people to understand. Sorry guys.

Yeah you're right. I hadn't looked into it completely yet. As soon as I realized there was no shotgun I didn't look into wildcat anymore. Maybe one day we'll have an option offense.

As far as formation goes, how would you set up your team against a very, very, very strong running team (150-200 yards running a game)? I currently have something along the lines of a 4-6 defense, because they only pass maybe 10 times a game.
